Hey, what is the general consensus on goaline defense? I find it very hard to stop extra points. For argument sake, let’s say they’re just going for 1 from the 5 (no run zone). I feel like the good teams go to here is the quick pass or quick “pitch”. I’ve seen this mostly done from bunch formations as I think that’s what a lot of teams tend to set up in on the goaline. Out of bunch it’s more of that quick pitch forward, but I’ve also seen it done out of a spread formation when a defense sees gaps, QB goes under center with two wr’s out wide to either side, one guy in the slot. And the slot wr get an immediate quick pass usually into open gaps and he walks right in.
The logical thing I feel is 4 across maybe 1 yard in from the goaline and still send a rusher. But I think this setup is better against bunch, not if they go spread or something. If you lineup 4 across against a spread there’s gonna be gaps. Idk open to suggestions 🤷♂️
